Cold and mostly cloudy, always a chance for rain.

And such is the weather in Northern Germany at this time of year, though as I type this the sun stares defiantly at me in contradiction to the above title.

Hey friends, sorry for the late update. Martha was gone and I had been using her computer to update but now she is back and I can give you a quick brief on the last week and a half. Much of my time was spent relaxing after a fun summer in Central Asia. I needed some time to rest, debrief and recount my adventures from this summer. Here's a shout out to the team from the summer; Andrew, Tiffany, Jessica, Sarah - thanks for being such a great team and an encouragement to me. (Sarah-thanks for being a great co-leader as well, you were a tremendous blessing to me and the team!)


As for my time here, i've gotten to know a couple more friends: Abdul and Murat, both employees at a Tea Cafe here in Braunschweig. Its been fun trying to learn a little Arabic through speaking German, because they don't speak English. Just a reminder: This weekend I will be traveling to Munich and I will be there for a week. After that I will go with several students on a trip to Hungary for the week after that. I will try my best to keep posts during that time, but given travel schedules and time constraints we will have to wait and see!
The picture above is the western portion of my city as seen from one of the University buildings. Gotta run, lots to do!

You know, its November... where is the update on what is going on with you?! By the way, thanks for the encouragement! It was great leading with you! Seriously. I know you are going to school, building relationships, and have a life... so, maybe a little update?!
